I purchased this cat condo directly from Amarkat and was pleased by its easy assembly. Even before I had all the pieces together, my cats were scratching on the sisal rope posts and rubbing up against the soft cloth platforms. Once I had it up they climbed up and promptly demolished the small hanging yarn balls that the condo came with. They really enjoyed the hanging down aspect of the toys so I took some thicker rope and strung up some catnip mice and balls. I’ve had this product for about a year now and it is holding up fabulously. I had some initial concern over the sturdiness of the base, but I stuck it in a corner where it is doing fine. My cats are older now and no longer play as much on it. They instead like to climb up to the two highest platforms and nap or curl up in the hidey hole. Overall, a great purchase which has saved my other furniture from my kitty’s claws.

My cat likes playing on it…but it is terrible quality. The base is not heavy enough to hold the tower in place. It shakes when my little 9 mo. old cat jumps up onto it. I have to weigh it down with 30 lbs worth of dumbbells so it doesn’t fall over. Whoever created this doesn’t have a good sense of elementary physics.

I have 11 cats and they love this cat tree. They love laying on the different levels, hiding in the cubby hole, and with the many scratching posts it has kept them from scratching on anything else. They have had so much fun with this tree that I ordered two different ones so they can all have a place without having to compete for a spot. This same unit sells at my local pet store for well over $125. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with cats or kittens.

I’ve had this cat tree for almost 3 years now and I must say it has held up well. The cats have finally started ripping the sisal apart to the point of no repair. Its really easy to assemble and very sturdy as a unit. I did have to bolt it to the wall to keep it from falling over and the upper posts get more wobbly over time which I suppose is only to be expected when two 12 pound cats abuse it on a daily basis. The cats love the thing though and I’ve been really pleased with the other Amarkat products I’ve purchased, though they also need to be weighted down. Would definitely recommend for adventurous climbing kitties.

This tree has not got enough area for the cats to climb comfortably from one level to the next. The fleece material that the platforms are covered with is very cheesy.
The price is a good bargain, but I would rather pay more and get a better quality product. It is also somewhat wobbly on it’s base.
Not what I expected, so I am disappointed with the purchase.
We will beef it up and add features ourselves to make it more fun for our cat.
